True...  how would you like the marking to be done?  A stippled box
around the link is possible in Emacs, I think.  It might move the text
slightly, though (one pixel down, to be precise), so it might be
disturbing.

Hm...  Altering the colour instead, perhaps?  And should this marking
disappear after a while?  I think that might make sense.
